Firm oak presence with bright acidity. Peach and vanilla aromas with a bracing oak flavor and a long finish. I found it to be delicious with smoked chicken and black bean tacos topped with a vibrant salsa verde.

Big fruit and firm tannins, blackberries and black cherry. Tart, tannic finish. If a wine ever called out for a bacon cheeseburger, it would be this one. Great casual Wednesday wine after getting home from work.

I have no idea where or when I picked up the bottle of "Redemption". It's been in the rack for over a year and I just opened it moments ago.

Being, almost exclusively, a boring, Merlot drinker, I will venture outside my comfort zone from time to time; however, often with disappointment and regret.

In regards to Whiplash Redemption, there's no doubt I bought the bottle on a whim being drawn in by the label and description. This time, no disappointment or regret but rather pleasant surprise and intrigue! I had to research and found your blog and was compelled to agree with your quite accurate description. One can't possibly pass up a good bargain either!
